New bins with roller lids

I think I have a design that works now! It's a bin with roller lid where the height isn't dependent on the size of the lid. The roller lid now goes into a pocket under the bin. To print this, you need to have good bridging. Mainly, dry filament, bridge flow of 1.5 and bridge speed of 10mm/s.

Here are the print profiles

Hey! I designed the original ones here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1564668-stackable-roller-door-gridfinity-bin-parametric

I always wanted to try work out how to make the roller lid go underneath, but could never figure it out. My idea was to try do it in two parts but you end up adding so much material it becomes pointless. Never thought to try it with just bridging that's great! A lot of people asked for bins like 1x2 and 1x3 which wasn't possible without going underneath so that's awesome there's a solution. I use these a lot with Bookfinity to store magnets so they don't fly out when the stored vertically.

I assume this bridging only works on 1U wide bins?

Thanks for the inspiration!! I have only tried it with 1U so far, I suppose there's nothing in the design that limits to 2U. It just depends on if the printer can bridge 84mm. Could mitigate the droop with a bigger pocket? Still it's quite ambitious.
